Once upon a Tree Carpenters Croft Sparkling Dry Cider 2011

Once Upon A Tree are a Herefordshire based, multi-award winning craft cider producer. The brain-child of Simon Day, who is also the enigmatic winemaker at Sixteen Ridges, these craft ciders are made to similar principles to wine. Utimate care is taken to select the best fruit, and they use the least intervention possible to ensure the maximum amount of flavour is imparted into their ciders and perrys.

This sparkling cider is made traditional method similar to those made in Champagne. The result is a full and mouthfilling naturally fizzy cider that is clean and balanced. The palate is fruity with spiced apple, a hint of toffee and some brioche character. This is an excellent alterntive sparkling for those looking for something lower alcohol.
